Book Reviews of Skinny Women Are Evil: Notes of a Big Girl in a Small-Minded World

Book Review: Skinny Phobe
Summary: 1 Stars

If someone wrote a book called "FAT Women are Evil" it would be all over TV, and people would be protesting! Mo'nique obviously has low self-esteem. The reason why I say that, is because she has to put "skinny women" down to make herself feel better. She is a skinny phobe. Its great to be confident and feel great, no matter how big you are. With that said, people who are overweight/obese have a higher risk of developing diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. You only have 1 body, take care of it. But people are so selfish and lazy, they dont want to do anything about it!

Summary of Skinny Women Are Evil: Notes of a Big Girl in a Small-Minded World

It is NO secret that I am a BIG girl.
Always have been, always will be.
The only way I'll ever wear a size 6, or even a 16, is if you add them together. That's right: I wear a size 22. And I'm proud, because I wear it well.
Hell, even Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can see that!

Such is the life -- and largesse -- of Mo'Nique, one of America's best-loved plus-size personalities. "I really wish I didn't have to write this book," writes Mo'Nique. "But it appears I have no choice. Especially when BIG girls are still subjected to ridicule simply because we've been blessed with a few extra pounds." In Skinny Women Are Evil, Mo'Nique strips away the stigma of being weight-challenged and introduces a new vocabulary in which F.A.T. is FABULOUS AND THICK and a woman who is "skinny" is just plain evil. Why? Because America gives them the comfortable airline seats, the fashionable clothes, and the lead roles in the Hollywood blockbusters. So how can a F.A.T. girl learn to operate in the it's-a-small-world after all? In this hilarious, heartwarming book, women of all sizes, shapes, and colors can benefit from Mo'Nique's Fat Girls' Survival Tips, a handy Thin-O-Meter, and a generous portion of advice about dating, eating, dressing, undressing, and much more.

Skinny Women Are Evil is Mo'Nique's testament to living large and loving it. So go on, dig in!
